Today Matthew and Zac shared their Extra for Experts research into dinosaurs. Matthew wondered why there are no dinosaurs still alive. He is going to find the answer to this and he will be able to tell you soon. Zac brought a dinosaur egg that will hatch in the classroom! I hope it will be friendly.
Every Friday we have an Outram Sprint maths test of basic facts. Rylee got all correct on the Year 3 test. Sean got all correct on the Year 4 test even though he is only a Year 2 student! What shining stars!
What a huge ammonite we saw at the museum. Imagine seeing this in the ocean!
We all went on a fossil hunt! We climbed on the bus and spent the day at the Otago Museum. What fun we had. We even made a Hollyosaurus fossil and a Calebosaurus fossil to bring back to Room 9 where we continue to shine!
We looked at some real fossils. We had so many questions. I wonder where....? I wonder why...? I wonder how....? I wonder who.....? I wonder what.....? Can you see the veins on the leaves children?
Today we talked about how we thought a fossil might form. To help us understand we sequenced a series of pictures that told the story. We can now all tell you how it happens. Watch us shine!
Every Tuesday lunchtime Emma goes to the Magic Stitches group with Mrs. Simpson. She has just finished this brilliant wall hanging. You are shining Emma!
What fun we had in the Allen Centre today. Mrs Steadman found us a huge jigsaw puzzle showing how the world was formed. We worked with co-operation and dedication until it was finished. We all love going to the Allen Centre.
